• The Everygirl Bag (Free Crochet Market Bag Pattern)

    I might be biased, but I think this is the perfect little bag! It features mesh throughout the body without being too 'meshy' like others can be. It uses a combination of rows of extended single crochet and single crochet. The extended single crochet rows are what give it the mesh look and the single crochet rows give a bit of stability so as not to overstretch or let anything fall through.

  • Woodlands Faerie Hood (Free Crochet Hooded Cowl Pattern)

    If you’re looking for a thick and cozy crochet hooded cowl pattern, you’ve come to the right place! Whether it’s the winter season yet or not, any time of the year is perfect for stitching an oversized hooded cowl pattern (in my humble opinion!) The Woodlands Faerie Hood is the crochet version of my Snuggly Love Bubble shown below that I recently designed for Darn Good Yarn.

  • Softly Angled Scarf (Free Knitting Pattern)

    Inspiration Do you know what I love most about the maker community? All of the amazing people I’ve ‘met’ (some in real life too!). And Christine @buttercupcreates is certainly no exception. So, naturally, when I placed my first yarn order with her and she asked if I wanted some extra to design with, I didn’t hesitate for a second in saying yes! She’s an amazing lady, you guys, and if you haven’t discovered her yet you should definitely go check out her page and her Etsy shop! About The Yarn Now, a little bit about this gorgeous yarn (and the design, of course).  I chose the colorway ‘Scotch’ and it…

    **This post is not for the pattern itself.  The pattern can be found on Darn Good Yarn’s website here.**  **Use code YarniqueBlog15 for a discount on your Darn Good Yarn purchase!** I want to start by saying I absolutely loved working with Darn Good Yarn for the first time! This was also my first time working with 100% wool yarn and it’s so thick and cozy, making it perfect for this hooded cowl I designed. Playing around with different stitches with this yarn was fun and frustrating at the same time.  I always find myself wanting to use complex or interesting stitches but when swatching with this yarn it practically screamed…

  • The Working Man Beanie (Free Knitting Pattern)

    Introduction I chose the name ‘Working Man Beanie’ because I designed this beanie with the outdoor, hard working man in mind.  My significant other works in construction so the high vis orange was a must (have you looked for Chartreuse yarn?!).  It was a win-win-win with this color as he’s a Tennessee Volunteers fan AND he also has a set of coveralls this same color! Talk about meant to be.. Inspiration There are so many adorable ‘Mommy and Me’ sets out there but what about ‘Daddy and Me’ sets?! You don’t see very many (if any!) of those so here’s a hoorah for that too! But it doesn’t have to…
